Leaf N

Bench-grafted Fuji/M26 apple trees were fertigated with different concentrations of nitrogen by using a modified Hoagland solution for 6 weeks, resulting in a range of leaf N from 1.0 to 4.3 g·m–2. Over this range, leaf absorptance increased curvilinearly from 75% to 92.5%. Under high light conditions (1500 (mol·m–2·s–1), the amount of absorbed light in excess of that required to saturate CO2 assimilation decreased with increasing leaf N. Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements revealed that the maximum photosystem II (PSII) efficiency of dark-adapted leaves was relatively constant over the leaf N range except for a slight drop at the lower end. As leaf N increased, non-photochemical quenching under high light declined and there was a corresponding increase in the efficiency with which the absorbed photons were delivered to open PSII centers. Photochemical quenching coefficient decreased significantly at the lower end of the leaf N range. Actual PSII efficiency increased curvilinearly with increasing leaf N, and was highly correlated with light-saturated CO2 assimilation. The fraction of absorbed light potentially used for free radical formation was estimated to be about 10% regardless of the leaf N status. It was concluded that increased thermal dissipation protected leaves from photo-oxidation as leaf N declined.

Leaf Discs

The responses of photosystems (PS) I and II to light stress at 4 °C and 20 °C were studied in leaf discs from three chilling-sensitive plant species, Cucumis sativus, Cucurbita maxima and Nicotiana tabacum, and in the chilling-tolerant Spinacia oleracea. The chilling-sensitive plants were grown at 24 °C under 80 -120 μmol photons m-2 s-1 (Cucumis and Cucurbita) or 30 μmol photons m-2 s-1 (Nicotiana). Spinacia was cultivated outdoors during winter and early spring. The P700 absorbance change around 820 nm served as a relative measure of PSI activity. The potential efficiency of PSII was determined in dark-adapted leaf discs by means of the ratio of variable to maximum chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence emission (Fv/Fᴍ). In Cucurbita, Nicotiana and Spinacia, PSI was not or only slightly inhibited by 2 h illumination with 200 μmol m-2 s-1 at 4 °C or with 2000 μmol m-2 s-1 at 20 °C. In leaves of Cucurbita and Nicotiana, exposure to 2000 μmol photons m-2 s-1 at 4 °C resulted in a decline in PSI activity and potential PSII efficiency approximately to the same extent (about 50% within 2 h). In contrast, in Cucumis, both moderate and high light at low temperature caused a PSI inhibition that proceeded considerably faster than the decline in PSII efficiency. Such preferential photoinhibition of PSI was not observed in the other three species tested. In Spinacia, a lower susceptibility of PSI and PSII to photoinhibition at 4 °C was associated with a faster de-epoxidation kinetics of violaxanthin, as compared to the three chilling-sensitive species. In addition, leaves of Spinacia were characterized by a significantly larger pool of xanthophyll-cycle pigments and a higher content of β-carotene based on Chi a+b. When leaves of Cucurbita were preincubated with methylviologen, which catalyzes formation of superoxide anion radicals at the acceptor side of PSI, the decline in potential PSII efficiency under 2000 μmol photons m-2 s-1 at 20 °C and 4 °C was strongly enhanced, whereas the P700 signal was less affected. Our data demonstrate that in the species tested, PSI may be inhibited in vivo besides PSII under light stress, but preferential photoinhibition of PSI is not a general phenomenon in chilling-sensitive plants. At low temperatures, a reduced function of the xanthophyll cycle and of the antioxidative scavenging system might account for enhanced PSI and PSII inhibition in vivo

Photosynthesis, the xanthophyll cycle, light energy dissipation and down-regulation of photosystem II (PSII) in senescent leaves of wheat plants grown in the field were investigated. With the progress of senescence, maximal efficiency of PSII photochemistry decreased only slightly early in the morning but substantially at midday. Actual PSII efficiency, photochemical quenching, efficiency of excitation capture by open PSII centres, and the I–P phase of fluorescence induction curves decreased significantly and such decreases were much more evident at midday than in the morning. At the same time, non-photochemical quenching, thermal dissipation and de-epoxidation status of the xanthophyll cycle increased, with much greater increases at midday than in the morning. These results suggest that the xanthophyll cycle played a role in photoprotection of PSII in senescent leaves by dissipating excess excitation energy. Taking into account the substantial decrease in photosynthetic capacity in senescent leaves, our data seem to support the view that the decrease in actual PSII efficiency in senescent leaves may represent a mechanism to down-regulate photosynthetic electron transport to match the decreased CO2 assimilation capacity and avoid photodamage of PSII from excess excitation energy.

Water Stress Condition

Cultivars of red (Acer rubrum L.) and Freeman maple (Acer ×freemanii E. Murray) are popular ornamental plants which are commonly placed in a variety of landscapes. To date, little information quantifies the capacity to tolerate and recover from drought among cultivars of red and Freeman maple. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of water stress on the physiology of five different maple cultivars of marketable size including four red maple genotypes, `Summer Red', `October Glory' (October Glory), `Autumn Flame', and `Franksred' (Red Sunset), as well as one hybridized Freeman maple genotype, `Jeffersred' (Autumn Blaze). Two-year-old cloned genotypes of red and Freeman maple were subjected to two treatments: irrigated daily to container capacity or irrigation withheld for one drought and recovery cycle. Light absorption, gas exchange, and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements were conducted under well-watered and drought stress conditions that approached 0.070 m3·m-3. Compared to well-watered conditions, drought stress conditions of 0.090 m3·m-3 had a significant main effect that reduced the amount of light absorption in four of the five genotypes. Additionally, absorption among genotypes was different under both well-watered and water stress conditions. Over the course of drought stress and a recovery phase, net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were different among genotypes. Maximum photosystem II (PSII) efficiency of dark-adapted leaves (Fv/Fm) was lowered by the water stress condition. The efficiency of excitation capture by open PSII reaction centers (Fv`/Fm') was variable among genotypes. Photochemical quenching was higher in Autumn Blaze, October Glory, and `Summer Red' under drought conditions, which corresponded with a low degree of closure of PSII centers. Additionally, the fraction of excess excitation energy was also lower. Lastly, water deficit caused an increase in PSII efficiency in all genotypes except Autumn Blaze. This research demonstrated physiological variation among commercially available red and Freeman maple genotypes that may be selected for drought tolerance based on site moisture characteristics.
